Caberdost 0.5 mg Tablet

Caberdost 0.5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine containing cabergoline 0.5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the dopamine agonist class and is used mainly to lower high prolactin levels, which can help restore normal menstrual cycles, fertility, and symptoms caused by prolactin excess. Doctors may prescribe Caberdost 0.5 mg Tablet for conditions such as hyperprolactinemia and prolactin-related infertility. This tablet is taken by mouth, and the exact schedule is based on your lab results and medical history.

How it works: Cabergoline works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which lowers the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland. By reducing prolactin, Caberdost 0.5 mg Tablet can help improve ovulation, menstrual regularity, and fertility when high prolactin is the cause.

Caberdost 0.5 mg Tablet is the higher tablet strength in this product line, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a smaller tablet count per dose or a more convenient titration plan. Because cabergoline can act strongly even at low doses, this 0.5 mg tablet is meant for patients who have already been assessed and need a prescription-strength regimen rather than an over-the-counter option.

• Treatment of high prolactin (hyperprolactinemia)
• Prolactin-related infertility
• Restoring ovulation and menstrual regularity
• Reducing symptoms caused by excess prolactin
• Management of prolactin-secreting pituitary conditions as directed by a doctor

• Swallow Caberdost 0.5 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly on the days and at the times prescribed; dosing is often not daily for many patients.
• If it upsets your stomach, taking it with food may help, but follow your prescriber's instructions.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says it is okay.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, since cabergoline can cause dizziness or low blood pressure.
• If a dose is missed, ask your prescriber or pharmacist how to proceed; do not double up unless instructed.

Each Caberdost 0.5 mg Tablet provides 0.5 mg of cabergoline per tablet. The number of tablets taken and how often they are taken can vary a lot; cabergoline for prolactin-related conditions may be taken once or twice weekly, and the maximum daily amount is determined by the doctor for the individual patient. This strength is not a one-size-fits-all dose, so your prescriber will decide the schedule based on response and side effects.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
